How to use Wallstride – Shadowdash

Move toward a wall at an angle, hold Shift, and Shadowdash triggers as a quick burst dash. It is momentum-dependent, so it works best when sprinting. You can chain multiple dashes with jumps or other Lightness abilities to scale walls or traverse long distances.

Wallstride – Shadowdash tips

  • Build speed first – Sprinting before activation greatly increases dash distance.
  • Angle your approach – A clean 30–45° approach angle gives the most reliable dash trigger.
  • Combine with jumps – Jump → Shadowdash → Leap transitions cover huge gaps.
